A retired New York City firefighter who was nearly killed on September 11, 2001 donated his kidney to a total stranger 3,000 miles away, Pete Hegseth reported.
Kevin Shea, 50, found that he was a match with 59-year-old California special education teacher Lois Knudson, who has an otherwise fatal disease.
“It’s an absolute miracle. I will never need another Christmas gift,” Knudson said, adding that she was overcome with emotion when hearing that the donor was a 9/11 hero.
